About Marilyn
Conversation flows best when you stop fearing mistakes and start listening to the natural groove of the language. Most people find that accent and intonation work feels less like a chore when we relate it to musical phrasing. We will spend time on listening practice to ensure you capture the nuances of native speakers. Working professionals often appreciate how I blend business vocabulary with real-world cultural context.
Teens usually respond well to the way I break down complex grammar into logical units. Absolute beginners can expect a steady progression that builds confidence from the very first minute. Travel French remains a staple of our time together as it provides immediate practical feedback.
I aim to keep the atmosphere light while ensuring we hit your specific learning targets. My approach prioritizes clarity and rhythm so you understand how the pieces of the language fit together.

Music led me to formal language instruction after I realized how much melody informs the rhythm of speech. Singing chanson taught me more about French cadence than any grammar book ever could.
I currently support working professionals and absolute beginners in gaining authentic control over their pronunciation. My 6 years of experience have helped me connect with teens and adults who want more than just rote memorization. Students from my 420 sessions often arrive with specific goals for travel or business contexts.
I enjoy untangling complex syntax to make the language feel approachable for everyday use. Cultural context serves as the foundation for how I explain even the most difficult grammar points. My own background from the Université de Montréal provides the structure needed for clear academic progress.
I prefer a direct communication style that keeps our interactions efficient and focused on actual utility. You can book a free trial lesson to assess your level before we commit to a longer schedule.
